Brexit Probably Won't Affect Taxes As Much As Everyone Fears

It is hard to overstate the magnitude of the shock wave emanating from the United Kingdom in the wake of voters' decision to exit the EU. The surprising victory of the Leave campaign will almost certainly prompt introspection on the part of EU leaders and force the next U.K. prime minister to confront the serious possibility of a major recession and tangled trade policy. Where the Brexit vote might have a more subtle impact is on the U.K. tax regime

In Short Run, Brexit Selloff Will Bring Buying Opportunity; In Long Run, Radical Reform Needed To Support U.K. Economy

No matter how comprehensive a free-trade deal is struck with the EU, the U.K. will undoubtedly face more barriers than a member. To make up for it, the U.K. will need to use its newfound freedom to push through deregulation and economic reforms in areas where the country has historically been sub-par compared to international partners -- and where many supporters of the 'Leave' vote would resist.

As president, she would probably let the bloc better known by its acronym TPP stand up but only after a new round of scrutiny, analysts say.

Buy The Dip On Jobs Data

As we discussed earlier in the week, market participants are trained to be fixated on the monthly jobs data. That was evident in today's market reaction, as it always is. The payroll number—the number professional investors have been trained to trade—was weak this morning. The unemployment number, on the other hand, was at the best level since November 2007.

Discount Grocery Shopping: Theatrics Of Thrift Or Treasure Hunt Thrills?

During our "Great Recession" (circa 2008), a good deal of discussion centered on how Americans were going to rapidly "trade down," and big things were predicted for bargain-driven retail formats that sold groceries as shoppers theoretically flocked to discounters like Walmart and Dollar General. Instead, consumers seemed to enjoy including yet more discount options in their ever-broadening food shopping habits and, rather than embrace any one "kind" of retailer, chose to shop all types of food retailers, ranging from discount to fresh-format premium — and everything in between.

The Latest Wall Street Mishap (Scam). SEC Complaint Against the 'Supertrader' Seems Like Mini-Madoff

After watching an hour long interview with Karen Bruton the “Supertrader” on tastytrade.com it is apparent that even seasoned professionals can find it very difficult to determine the legitimacy of a fellow trader. Karen Bruton, founder of Hope Advisors Inc. received a Complaint from the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday which involved deceptive trade practices amongst numerous other offenses. Essentially, although she preached success in a public manner (see the video link above), the Fund suffered some very substantial losses, which while would have likely be accepted by most Fund Managers, were covered up by pushing losses forward without recognizing them.

Obama's Uneven Scorecard On Nuclear

An unexpected and alarming development is occurring in the Obama Administration - the White House wants to eliminate the position of the Director for Nuclear Energy Policy at the National Security Council. This is a bad idea. Abandoning this position will hurt U.S. companies engaged in global nuclear markets, will undercut the effectiveness of U.S. government trade-support programs, and will weaken U.S. nuclear safety, security and nonproliferation goals.
